You're supposed to kiss me, not quiz me! "Since we're just friends, I figured you wouldn't mind if I walked around like this. Besides, you walk around in just your boxers."
"That's fine. I don't mind at all."
"Good."
"Good." It looked like he wanted to laugh. He was so infuriating. And now I was growing increasingly more embarrassed.
"What are you doing today?" Maybe I could somehow salvage this conversation.
"I have work and then I need to get some stuff for the party tomorrow night."
"What kind of stuff?"
"Just the usual stuff."
"Of course." I literally had no idea what he was talking about. But I didn't want him to think I was a loser.
Rory finished his pancakes and picked up his plate. "Oh, you have some syrup on your face."
"Crap, where?"
He tapped the side of his lips.
I reached up and wiped the corner of my mouth.
"No, other side," he reached over and brushed his thumb along my bottom lip.
He's going to kiss me! A dull ache was spreading through my stomach. My lingerie to breakfast trick had worked!
But instead, he removed his hand from my face and licked his finger. Fuck that was hot. Somehow that was even sexier than him kissing me.
"What's it like to have a one night stand?" I blurted out.
Rory lowered his eyebrows. "Why do you want to know exactly?" He put his plate back down and rested his elbow on the counter.
"Well, I was thinking about having one."
"Really? I thought you didn't do one night stands, Keira."
"I don't. But maybe I should. You certainly seem to have a lot of fun."
"Mhm."
"So, I was thinking, maybe you could teach me how."
"You want me to teach you how to have a one night stand?"
"Yes." With you.
"Why the sudden change of...ethics?"
"Well, there's this guy that I work with that I really like. But he isn't looking for anything serious. And I can't seem to get him off my mind. So I thought maybe I should try him out. It out. It, as in a one night stand."
"Aren't you a freelance writer? I thought you just worked from here?"
"Well there's an office. For meetings and stuff. It definitely exists."
Rory was smiling at me. "Okay. I can help you out. If that's what you really want."
